Does dairy farming pay? Does any
thing but cotton growing pay? asks the
Sparta (Ga.) lshmaclite, and then adds:
Let us see: Since the first day of Janua-
ry, 1897, Mr.. w. j. Northern has sold
200 pounds of Jersey butter and four
hundred and fifteen ($i15) dollars worth
OF stock. Now Let some man who holds
that the only rcady-money crop of this
county Is cotion-that cotton growing
oilers the surest guarantee of money
making take his pencil and see if he
can figure such profits out of year of
toll and anxiety in the cotton field. BE
that rs it may, it docs look as if Mr..
Northern were making his Jerseys pay.
II this DO true of him, Why may not
others succeed at the samc business? ?
Cotton has been king, but kings are
sometimes deposed; and it not always a
wise subject that sides with the king in
,thc days Of revolution.

White Glover Among Strawberries.

Somc of the readers of the Southern
Cuitlvator may have discovered that
thcrc IS nothing in the shape Of natural
growth so destructive to the strawberry
plant rs whito clover. It is much more
rampant some years than others, but il
is always the great pestiferous obstacle
10 the growth and culture of this de-
!!icious berry. This may not be the case
III other strawberry regions, but in our
section of central Virginia, it is especial
~ so. This clover, like all others, is q
tap-rootcd growth. 1t crowds, hugs and
starves the strawberry plants to IL ruin
GUS extent. Clover roots as well as
strawberry roots, grow in mild winter
weather. This clover and all biennial
weeds and grasses may be wccdcd out to
advantage in winter when the ground is
not frozen, but it is tedious work.
Now what is the remedy? Hand-wced-
ing is almost impracticable; it may be
gougcd and torn away, but its long.
tough roots often remain to come again
and the work is tiresome and will not
pay. The best remedy, however, for
small lots or for gardou culture is to
plant IN hills, two plants i'll hill, hills
suitable distance apart. The cultivntor
can manage them i'll this position, and
not only white clover, but blue grass
and all other pests can be eradicated
with comparative case, and the berries

TO tho suggestion of one of his VIC
tins. that he seldom found stage
load of men with arms, the San An
tonic stage robber replied: "Thc leg
islature fixed that for you follows, aud

And he was right. lfrobbers and cut
throats had had the framing of law
to their own taste, they could not have
made one better suited to their needs
than that which disarms the law-abid-
ing community aud puts them in tho
power of the lawless.
